Fantastic NBA Finals Game 1 Kicks: Curry, Klay, LeBron, Kyrie And Durant Came To Play

Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals was a scintillating affair for more reasons that one. Besides the Golden State Warriors landing the opening blow to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and co. put together a bunch off highlight plays to produce some absolutely classic NBA Finals action. And then there were the kicks, an absolutely stunning display of sneakers to kickstart these Finals. We bring you the best of the lot.

Kevin Durant – KD 10 PE

Fresh from releasing his new KDX ‘Still KD’ special edition to mark the 10th anniversary of his signature sneakers, Durant entered the Finals for the first time in five years with these gorgeous kicks.

LeBron rocked these special player editions of his latest signature kicks, the LeBron 14s.

Stephen Curry – Curry 4

The reigning MVP came to play in Game 1 with 28 points and 10 assists. Take note sneakerheads, this is how you drop a stealth bomb, with no prior announcements, but by wearing them out on court, for the world to see.

Not only did Curry’s latest signature sneaker have social media buzzing, but he was also electric on court. And so there was plenty of fire to go around.

Kyrie Irving – Kyrie 3 PE

Irving has one of the hottest selling sports performance sneakers on the market. And he did his sneaker sales numbers no harm by planning a release of the latest ‘Obsidian’ colourway right in the midst of the NBA Finals.

Thompson did his best work on defense in Game 1. If the sparkle on his sneakers is anything to go by, one half of the Splash Brothers will shine on the offensive end sooner rather than later in the Finals.
